“Great Seafood and Good Times”
We are a family-owned seafood specialist, sourcing premium sustainable seafood for over 20 years. Our story began with our co-founders Ben and Robin becoming oyster merchants. This has developed into the UK’s leading seafood supplier, Wright Brothers wholesale, supplying over 500 restaurants across the UK. Most recently we have launched our online fishmonger, Wright Brothers at Home, supplying that same quality seafood direct to your door nationwide. We are proud to have three London restaurants of our own located in the iconic neighbourhoods of Battersea Power Station, Borough Market and South Kensington.
Borough Market is where is all began back in 2005, and where we have been delivering great seafood and good times ever since. We are looking for a charismatic, energetic and experienced General Manager to lead this iconic location and drive its continued success. As General Manager, you will work closely with the restaurant support team to manage the restaurant operationally whilst being a positive role model to lead our passionate restaurant team in delivering the best seafood experience to our guests.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
* All things people – lead, inspire and support your team to deliver memorable experience for all our guests.
* Manage all aspects of the people function in relation to recruitment, training, development, and performance.
* Drive sale, control costs and have full accountability for the financial performance of the site.
* Maintain high standards of compliance, follow all reporting and operational procedures.
* Encourage a culture of continual learning - as a team we are always developing our knowledge to provide our guests with the ultimate experience, this can range from seasonal changes, the history of our ports and day boats or even the viniculture and provenance behind our drinks menus.
WHO YOU WILL BE:
* A natural leader – encourage positivity, think inclusively, and nurture a culture of teamwork and respect.
* 2 – 3 years’ experience in a GM role within a fast paced, premium casual environment.
* We believe people perform at their best when they have autonomy and are empowered to make their own decisions. Proven track record of planning and successfully executing operational and people strategies is therefore important.
* While experience matters, it's our people who truly make Wright Brothers what it is. If you think you're a great fit for our vibe, we’d love to hear from you.
In a nutshell we are – welcoming, positive, hardworking, passionate – if this is you too, we’d love to have you on board.
